Valve and Pump Influences
If a valve is mounted directly after a pump, the flow characteristics from the
pump are influenced. The axis of the butterfly valve should be parallel to the
axis of the pump for best flow results.
A control valve can cause the pulp to thicken. The thickening effect is depen-
dent on the type of pulp and its consistency, and varies with flow rate. If the
transmitter is installed too close to a pump or a valve, the output signal from
the transmitter will be flow dependant.
